Second-trimester maternal serum screening for fetal Down's syndrome is well established in many Western countries. Its usefulness and acceptability is unknown in the Asian countries. Between June 1994 and December 1996, we offered second-trimester serum AFP and hCG screening to pregnant women in Hon

High free beta human chorionic gonadotropin ( -hCG) and low alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels were found in 47 Asian Down's syndrome pregnancies (median values 2•79 and 0•77 MOM, respectively). At a 5 per cent false-positive rate, free -hCG alone would identify 46•8 per cent of Down's syndrome pregnanc

To assess the value of inhibin A as an additional second-trimester maternal serum marker of Down's syndrome we studied 56 affected and 280 unaffected pregnancies matched for gestational age. The median level in the cases was 1.62 multiples of the gestation-specific median (MOM) in the controls, with

Case-control studies in the Caucasian population showed that maternal serum inhibin-A is elevated in Down syndrome pregnancies and may be a useful second-trimester marker in addition to human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP). Data in the Asian population are lacking. We meas
